Thanks guys.

When buying your car from USA, one thing you should never overlook is the distance between the location of the car and the closest port of exit. This is very critical because it's a major determining factor of the total cost of landing your car to Nigeria especially for those on a budget. If you don't pre-determine the distance to the closest port before buying your car, you may end up paying up to additional N900,000 ($2,500) to transport your car within the United States in a bid to get it to the port. Then you'll pay another N306,000 ($850) as ocean freight from the US port to the Nigerian port. That's a total cost of N1,206,000 ($3,350) as against a total cost that can be as low as N360,000 ($1,000) if the car is purchased at a location very close to the port. Certainly, no one will be happy with such a deal. Don't make the mistake of buying a 2005 Toyota Corolla from Alaska thinking you will get it to Nigeria at a good price. The trucking and shipping cost alone will shake your bank without mercy.

I decided to write about this because it's one of the most popular questions we receive from our Autojosh followers. Some were even forced to ask after they had made the mistake of buying their cars from a wrong location. One bought his car in Alaska while the other bought his in Hawaii. They were excited by the cheap prices they saw on online auctions but immediately realised it was a bad idea when they received the invoices from their shipping agents after the bids had been won. The person that bought from Hawaii got an outrageous bill of about $3,700 to get his 2006 Toyota Rav4 to Lagos. They eventually returned the cars to wherever they were bought as shipping to Nigeria wouldn't have made any economic sense. Note that auction companies usually charge a fees for such returns.

Today, we'll be looking at the location of 11 USA ports through which you can easily ship your cars to Nigeria as well as the Shipping lines that sail from those ports:

1. Baltimore, Maryland: Grimaldi and Sallaum Shipping Line

2. Boston, Massachusetts: Sallaum

3. Freeport, Texas: Sallaum

4. Galveston, Texas: Grimaldi.

5. Jacksonville, Florida: Grimaldi and Sallaum

6. Newark, New Jersey: Sallaum

7. New York (NYCT): Grimaldi

8. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Sallaum

9. Providence, Rhode Island: Grimaldi

10. Savannah, Georgia: Grimaldi

11. Wilmington, Delaware: Grimaldi

Most people prefer to ship their cars through Grimaldi as the cost of clearing cars that arrive on Sallaum can be more expensive especially in the case of more recent cars.

After you've determined the port through which your car will be shipped, the next step will be to calculate the shipping cost. Our next post will be about how to calculate the estimated cost of shipping your car from USA to Nigeria.

Is there any other port or shipping line you've shipped through recently? Tell us about it in the comment section if we don't have it on this list.

Which is the closest to California. How much to ship from California

California don’t do RORO. It must be containerized. So you look for someone to partner with. Normally we charge min $1250 for a car.

Content may be king, but if you don’t optimise your blog content in a way that Google likes, your readers will never find it.

Structuring your content in a way that Google understands means higher rankings across your entire site. This makes your blog more visible to readers searching for your topic, and more likely to show up near the top of the page when they search for your niche.

But how do you know what Google is looking for?

Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is simply a way of organising the content on your site so that it’s more likely that Google will understand it. It’s a process like anything else, and it can be tricky considering all the updates Google sends out. Stick to the fundamentals of content structuring and you’ll see a definite improvement in your rankings.

Search Engine Optimisation Fundamentals
Keywords

Choose one or two long-tail keywords to focus on when optimising your blog posts. These are strings of words that readers might use to look for the content on your blog.

The idea is not to stuff as many keywords as possible into your work, but to concentrate on just one or two and rank well for them. For the best results, pick one keyword string to emphasise per post, and one secondary string, if any. Everything on your page should relate back to these two keywords, and you should incorporate them in specific parts of your blog page.

Blog Post Page Title

The page title is the first thing your readers see, usually in a link that has been shared or in the search results. More importantly, it’s the first thing that Google will see.

The page title should tell Google and the reader what the post is about. If you want to rank for a specific phrase, you’ll need to use it here. Include the keyword within the first 50-60 characters of your page title. If you have a long title, use your keywords at the beginning.

Google stops displaying after 60 characters, so anywhere past that is getting too long.

Body and Headers

Most blog CMS/Themes typically will use the page title as the URL and as a H1 at the start of the page. , good SEO is about good content structure, so use your headings accordingly. Don’t have multiple H1s on a page, H2s should follow H1s, and H3s should follow H2s, etc. Each section header should have one of the two keywords incorporated into them. Try to use the same keyword in the first paragraph directly after the header, and use it in a natural manner in the text.

URL

Include the keyword in the page URL. Search engines look there to find your page’s relevance, so make sure to include a keyword string in each one. Your CMS or blog theme may just use the page title for the URL, which is perfectly fine.

Meta Description

Your meta description is designed to sum up your blog post in one short sentence. The meta description is limited to a maximum 160 characters and should summarise your page.

Include your keyword string to ensure your readers and Google alike know exactly what your page is about. Usually it will be shown in search results, so make it something that people want to click.

Your Blog Content

Getting past the mechanics of putting keywords in the technical spaces in your blog, it’s also important to optimise the actual content that you’re publishing. You’ve set up the framework, now what about the interior?

Images

Blog posts don’t only contain text. Great posts also include images to break up a visual wall of text and add interest for the readers. Google can’t really see images, so you have to add alt text to tell it what it’s seeing. You can also use the title element for an image so when a places their mouse over it more information appears about the image. This is helpful for Google and the . In addition, captions are a great way to use your keywords as well as offer more information about the image. Finally, with images, don’t forget to use a filename that is descriptive and contains your keywords.

Content

Google likes posts that reference other posts on the site, as long as they have a logical reference point. Use your keywords as an anchor text to link another post on your site. An easy way to do this is to create a series of posts on the same subject, then daisy chain the links between all of them. It shows authority over the subject, since you obviously have a lot to say about it, and it organises a way for readers to follow your thread.

Google likes authority sites, those sites that have many different posts on the same subject.

It proves knowledge, which Google values when asg rank. If you structure your content this way, every post you write will have a great opportunity to rank. Just to write for the reader and structure it properly for Google.

This is crap. When it comes to things like this, its not only Nigerians that likes cutting corners.

Its mostly oyibos that hacks these e products and sell them at lower prices.

See, oyibos like free things as every other race so stop that crap of Nigerians wanting to cut corners cause is applicable to other countries.

By the way, anybody that wants any theme or plugin. Anything you can think of as far as its a blogging tool you can message to get it free but some you have to pay a token.

Hello Frodobee. I am a Buyer of Lead Ore and I am travelling to Eboying this week (October 31) on an inspection and buying tour. Can I have your phone number and email. you can reach me privately on [email protected]. Thank you.

I left you a mail. Alternatively, you can call me on this number 08039541811

Funny enough I was a science student, but my late mum loved literature a lot and ed it on to me. I playing Antonio in Shakespeare's Ceaser and Odewale in The Gods are Not To Blame. My favourite lines in Caesar when Antonio addressed the Roman's at the Capitol after Caesar's death he said "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and so grievously hath Caesar answered it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men— Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill."

In the Gods are not to blame, I played Odewale and I my favourite after the Ifa priest confirmed my paternity I took hold of the floor and began on a strong but sorrowful note "no no, do not blame the gods, let no one blame the powers my people. Learn from my faults. The powers would have failed if I would not let them use me.
They knew my weaknesses, the weaknesses of a man easily goes to the defense of his tribe against others. I once slew a man in my farm in Ede, I would have spared him,but he spat on my tribe. He spat on the tribe I thought was my own tribe. The man laughed. And laughing he called me a bush man from the tribe of Ijekun, and I lost my reason.
Now I know that that very man was my father, the king who ruled this land before me. It was my run to calm the hurt of my tribe that brought me to this land to do more horrors. (I then plucked my eyes and concluded by saying) give her my wife, my mother, a burial of honour."
One funny thing happened when we were preparing for this drama. My school was a missionary sch but we went outof our way to invite a juju priest to teach the guy acting the Ifa priest role how to incant. Omo in our presence this man did incantation and smoke from no where land. We laughed it off. But now I am older, I look back and say mehnnnn.


Cc rabzy buffalowings

rabzy:


I tell you once you start reading wide and have read so much, you realize that not everything should be read, there are some things that is safer left unread. I the Ghanaian bros that first told me about olaudah equaino, martins Ashanti, he also gave me the book think and grow rich and stories of opoku ware, kweku ananse, ashantehene, the fante, dentchira and ashante wars. I had a togolese bros that taught me many songs in ewe and twi. Am going to check out 'atlas shrugged'.
I used to see myself as Umslopogaas, the black dude in King Solomons Mine, in fact his name was my for my first email.

Is anybody familiar with 'she who must be obeyed'.

Damn, the asian novels leaned towards mystics. Very good books but definitely will change your cosmic view, that's when I knew I have to soft-pedal.
I have not come across "she who must be obeyed", but I've come across the phrase severally. Usually applied to authoritarian women. I will check it up though.
*smile* at your .

buffalowings:


Haha atlas shrugged . I have the epub version on my tab. When I saw that it was 1000pages I noped the Bleep out. I can't seem to find the time to read these days. For the past months I have only been able to read the girl on the train.

Maybe I will give it a try sometime soon

I really enjoyed it. Just keep a note where you will en down quotes like "money is a tool with which you can buy into the best abilities around".

Wow, ing those days makes me nostalgic and I can’t help but relive those times again. I so so much loved reading, it was my very best hobby. I would stay awake all night reading novels and even the ones my sisters brought home didn’t escape me, I read them with or without their permission. Read most of senior classes literature while still in junior class including almost all the books mentioned on this thread so far. Recalling.....

Shakespeare – Much ado about nothing, twelfth night or what you will, Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, As you like it, Macbeth

African novel – Arrow of God, Joy of motherhood, so long a letter, Things fall apart, Man of the people, weep not child, No longer at ease, Efuru etc

Pace setters – Evbu my love, stone of vengeance, sweet revenge, too cold for comfort, love on the rock, mark of cobra, the wages of sin, sisi, the concubine etc

I used to have special interest reading James Hadley chase – safer dead, not safe to be free, no orchid for miss Blandish, sucker punch, the vulture is a patient bird, knock, knock who is there?, the way the cookies crumble, have a change of scene etc

Mills and boom series is not left behind. Can’t even their titles anymore.

I never knew a time will come when other things will take over my love for reading. Those days.......

Lawd your post summarised my childhood. In my class, I had a challenge wt two of my mates- who will read the most novels. Fortunately, my Dad was a contractor and publisher. For every single book he supplied, he kept a copy in his library which he bequeathed me. For that I read almost all the books in AWS(african writers series) aside a few- not up to ten. I read biographies, autobiographies, collection of poems, novels etc. Just like you said, almost all the novels mentioned here including the one written by the famous slave Equiano (Equiano's travels).
From their I attempted to write my first novel in JSS3, lol. From AWS, to Mills and Boon, to Pacesetters, to Hadley Chase, to 1000+ paged novels, Corgi books, Bantam books, authors like Danielle Steel etc I reading an american philosophical novel that changed my views on money, it was written by a lady( I don't know her name again or the name of the novel.) One popular quote or exclammation in that novel is "who's galt?", I just googled it, the novel is 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. People need to read that novel. From their, my banker friend - actually my manager- introduced me to asian novels. Hmmm, that was when I started soft-pedalling, because I started seeing other worlds and views that can shatter your belief system.
In all, it is nostalgic the feeling one gets looking back through the years. Glad to know people walked your path and lived in your dream worlds and shared your loneliness.

MAN SEND ME UR TARGET PRICE

nairaland.sitesunblocked.org/3225527/facts-nigerian-mining-sector
Check that thread, the pics are from our mine. Come to Isiagu in Ebonyi and have a first-hand feel and one on one discussion.

^^^^Hmmm really? Probably why he visited Cchub, Andela etc. Oga at the top. He probably visited IDP camps inside Yabatech. I forgot yabaleft could be involved.

It is important to preface this discourse with this footnote: I wasn’t a fan of former President Jonathan and his team while they were in office. Many of us loved Buhari – the presidential aspirant – to pieces.

Having made this clarification, it is heartwarming to see the seed sown by Jonathan’s team sprouting. The vision pursued by Mrs. Omobola Johnson, former minister of telecommunications, has now been noticed by one of the world’s most important figures in ICT, Mark Zuckerberg.

All through her tenure, the former telecoms minister argued ionately about the billions of naira that was leaving Nigeria – and is still leaving – as fees to foreign software companies. She believed Nigeria had the capacity to develop and nurture ‘software code warriors’.

With Jonathan’s , Mrs. Omobola Johnson set up two ICT incubation centers to develop Nigerian youths – one in Lagos and the other in Calabar. She encouraged software contests among youths: on one occasion, the winner of the first prize got N2 million.

This gesture not only rekindled the ion of youths in ICT, it also impressed in their minds that there was a big future in the ICT space.

She didn’t stop there. As minister, she visited Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) frequently. It is not surprising that CcHub was the first place Zuckerberg visited yesterday. In fact, in 2012, on her birthday, she met young developers in CcHub to intimate them of her vision to take software development in Nigeria to the next level.

And in 2013, she visited again, with an important venture capitalist, Tony Elemelu. And of course, that visit resulted in more young and euthanistic Nigerians getting grants for their start-ups. At that point, start-ups like BudgIT, Efiko and Naijateenz were already getting the they needed to survive from Jonathan’s government. Jonathan, through his telecoms minister, gave them all the they needed.

Enthusiasm and ion awakened by the minister and her team has, today, attracted Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg says he is in Nigeria to learn and take back to California. Interesting, isn’t it?

One thing is clear: Jonathan and his team believed in the youth. They didn’t just celebrate the youths because their numbers could influence elections, but because they truly believed in their potentials.

In the words of Jonathan, these are the people who will take “Nigeria to the moon’’. Zuckerberg’s visit reaffirms the strength of Nigeria’s human resources. A resource, many believe, has not been properly harnessed because of the quality of our educational institutions. But Nigerians are resilient and could be enterprising, if given the right atmosphere.

Many young people tell me that they learnt nothing from their Nigerian professors at the universities. Probably, they delved into the pursuit of the kind of knowledge being celebrated by Zuckerberg today because of their resilience and hunger for knowledge. Today, there are some mass communication graduates who you could confuse for computer science graduates.

Also, the business dimension of Zuckerberg’s visit should not be ignored. With over 16 million s, Nigeria remains Facebook’s biggest market in Africa. There is no doubt that the business intends to grow this market. So far, the company has launched many products in the Nigeria. I hope Zuckerberg gets all the he needs when he visits the president. [Reports say he is likely to visit President Buhari before living Nigeria].

And, the $24 million investment in a Nigerian-born company called Andela, whose first business premises was a stone throw from CcHub’s, by the Zuckerbergs sends some important messages. One, many tech companies of this nature, such as Jobberman and BudgIT, have the capacity of impacting enormously on Nigeria’s economy by attracting huge foreign inflows. The country badly needs such inflow of dollars. Two, the founder(s) of Andela might have been inspired by Omobola Johnson’s strategy. Andela is actually a coding school which trains young people and es them on to big companies – a model similar to what the former information minister was spearheading.

Credit should be given to former President Jonathan for taking on board, and encouraging, a very competent and knowledgeable woman.

Ahem, one little confession: I didn’t think this amazon knew what she was doing while she was pursuing her dream for software development in Nigeria. This is a topic for another day. Apparently, the lackluster performance of some her colleagues beclouded her achievements.

On a final note, it’s important that President Buhari continues from where Jonathan’s government stopped. The first step should be to encourage and compel MDAs, and even Nigerian banks, to use local software, whenever they are available, for their operations. This would save Nigeria from massive capital outflows- Nigeria spends over N400 billion naira yearly as software fees to mostly Indian and European companies.  I want to believe Adebayo Shittu is on this case!
